Best Free VST Plugins

Would you like to know what the best free VST plugins are? The truth is we all love free stuff, right? More importantly, free stuff that is truly valuable. It’s been a while since I've covered the best free VST plugins so I thought it was time to list a few more.

At the top of my list is none other than the Blue Cat's Freeware Plug-ins Pack II. What I love about Blue Cat Audio is that their free plugins are available for Mac and PC, and they support 64bit operating systems.

The best free VST plugins, in my opinion, don't come with limited time trials. Though there is a use for the demo plugin, I like something I can use for longer than 30 days. This is one of the many reasons I appreciate the MFree Effects Bundle from Melda Production. This free set comes with a compressor, EQ, limiter, flanger, tremolo, stereo expander, and tons more.

I'll add a few to my list below.

I like a lot of the same ones mentioned above. In addition, the free Reaper plugins are great very handy. I grab their EQ, compressor, or gate more times than not, especially if I need external sidechaining. They handle that well.http://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/index.php
